## Description

Rope is a graphical user interface for swapping faces in images and videos. It functions as a deepfake video editor and image face swapper that utilizes pre-trained deep learning models to replace identities in visual media.

The tool includes specialized capabilities for AI video post-production, such as occlusion-aware blending to handle foreground objects and mouth-parsing refinement to align facial expressions. It also serves as an AI face restoration tool, using saliency-based restoration to recover clarity and sharpness in swapped facial regions.

The software provides a pipeline for visual media manipulation, encompassing the entire process from initial face replacement to final digital restoration.
